Windsor Park Homeowners Association, Inc.

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL

Standards, Rules and Regulations

A word about Architectural Control Standards, Rules and Regulations:

Provisions for architectural control are an integral part of the legal arrangements, which will assure a successful Homeowners’ Association. Properly exercised, these provisions are designed to protect the value of all homes in the community.

Provisions for architectural control also serve another function equally as important as the protection of property values. They provide the ground rules for a forum to settle potential disagreements about exterior appearance. The disagreements, if left to informal expression, can undermine the community spirit necessary to sustain a successful Association. These rules and regulations, and the committee representing same are not designed to stifle individuality, or to establish supremacy. Rather, the rules and regulations and the committee are intended solely to protect individual rights and property values. This is the spirit in which the committee functions and the rules are enforced by the Board of Directors. Your cooperation with these endeavors and adherence to these rules is needed and greatly appreciated.

Please familiarize yourself with the rules in this section and support your Board of Directors in their effort to preserve and enhance the architectural harmony of our community. Please contact any member of the ACC for help or clarification of these rules.

THE ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE

The ACC (Architectural Control Committee) functions to protect the property Values of all the development. Its primary responsibility is to advise and assistThe Board of Directors in the discharge of its responsibilities.

Any modification to the exterior of a property not specifically allowed by published Architectural Control Rules and Regulations requires a “REQUEST FOR CHANGE” be submitted to the ACC. A “Request for Change” may be submitted to an ACC member, mailed to 6400 Rockshire Street, Alexandria, Virginia, 22315 or mailed through the Managing Agent.

30PROCEDURE FOR REQUEST FOR CHANGE

1. A “Request for Change” form MUST be submitted by the homeowner. The ACC will consider only written requests. Oral requests will not be considered. A request form has been included at the end of this document or may be obtained through the Management Agent. The Board of Directors must submit each proposal of a homeowner for a variance to the rules to the ACC for approval.

2. The “Request for Change” should contain a detailed sketch and/or written description of the proposed improvement(s). The written description of the project should include, but is not limited to, specific information such as height, width, length, size, shape, color, location and materials. Photographs or sketches of similar completed projects in the community would also aid in the Committee’s consideration.

3. If the change is approved, the request will be signed by the ACC Chairman and the Secretary will record any contingencies on the “Request for Change” form. A copy of the form will be returned to the homeowner.

4. If the change is disapproved, the applicant is free to request of the ACC to reconsider its position and is encouraged to present new or additional information, which might clarify the request or demonstrate its acceptability. Final appeal may be made to the Board of Directors.

5. If the “Request for Change” cannot be resolved in committee, or it is felt to be controversial (seriously deviating from existing guidelines) the Secretary will note on the “Request for Change” form that disposition is contingent on the Board of Directors, clearly stating that no work may commence prior to a Board decision and final approval. The request will be returned to the homeowner via the ACC with a “disapproval” action. The homeowner will be advised of the next scheduled Board of Directors meeting and the method of requesting a “Hearing”.

6. If the ACC or the Board fails to take action (approval or disapproval) within thirty (30) days of receipt of said “Request for Change”, no additional approval will be required and Article V of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions will be deemed to have been fully complied with. Proof of submission date will lie with the requesting homeowner. The thirty (30) day period begins when the request is received by the ACC or the Management Agent.

A “Request for Change” Form was included with this booklet, if it has been removed ormisplaced please call the Management Agent and request a copy. Use of the form will

accelerate the processing of your request by the Architectural Control Committee.
